Duprass (Ido Govrin and Liora Belford) - 'If the walls could speak' - Installation, Sound Archeology at The Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, Jerusalem
Curated by Dr. Roy Brand, director; Sagit Mezamer, Yael Ruhman and Simon Krantz.

The structure, literally, is a material exists as limited information, defined in a closed and finite reality. Sound is contained in the structure as part of the happening within the structure and around it, but even when the happening had past, the sound remains intact, floating, burned into dense layers as simultaneously existing derivatives, as a known testimony to the thing itself and as an unknown testimony to the thing which was lost. The installation, ‘if the walls could speak', carves the layers of sound, unfold time and decipher the local history which existed and still exists.
[Abstract; It seems, in the modern age, that the visual imagery burden has changed the human reading of space more than anything else. One of the consequences of this is a structural ability of thematic blindness which was bequeathed to the human eye, one which produces fictitious silence within the noise. The process is dynamic; it was constructed while adapting and re-erasing the boundaries constantly and, in its catharsis finale, led to a ‘Foie Gras' flood which caused the collapse of the imagery and its shattering in space. The negativity which will break through because of this will clear off the space, forcibly, to sound. The sound is free now and can speak out. The installation, ‘If the walls could speak', will try to examine this negativity which now becomes full.]
